Dave's Snowy Trapping Trip: Dave's Snowy Trapping Trip
One winter day many years ago David Fitka and Peter Elia were going to check their traps up on the Achuelinguq River. They'd been traveling in pretty stormy weather trying to get to Chuck's cabin in that area when it started blowing snow even harder. It got to the point where they could only see ten feet in front of them. Along the way they came across a big snow drift and stopped behind it to warm up. It was a lot calmer behind the drift, he said, but the snow was so thick that it was hard to breath. When they took off their gloves the snow built up so fast that their hands became wet almost instantly. They were both lucky to be traveling in country they knew, though, or else they could have gotten lost on their way to the cabin. From the time it got stormy until they reached the cabin they had traveled only 10 miles. But they finally made it to the cabin alright and waited out the storm there. When the weather was better they checked their traps and then headed for home. By: David Fitka Interviewed by: Fred Alstrom | |
